Staff reports

A Manhattan couple escaped injuries when their vehicle overturned and landed in the water during low tide at Greenwich Point around 5:15 p.m. Saturday.

The couple, a 68-year-old woman and her 69-year-old husband, who was the driver, were making a right turn on to the road at the intersection between the Greenwich Boat and Yacht Club and the clambake area.

The driver turned too wide and the car went over the seawall and overturned, landing on its roof in the water. It was low tide and the couple was able to escape the vehicle without suffering any injuries. Police did not release the couple's names.
